Solution
Wait for natural lighting conditions to
improve, add indirect lighting, or use the
flash to illuminate your subject.
The flash can only illuminate objects that
are within 2.5 m (~8 feet) of the camera.
Make sure your subject is within range
of the flash when you take the picture.
Use FLASH ON to brighten the subject
when there is a back light.
Be sure to move your fingers away from
the flash when you are ready to take a
picture.
Change the flash setting to
OFF.
Try taking the picture from a different
angle. Avoid pointing the camera directly
toward a bright light or reflective surface
on a sunny day. If there is light behind
your subject, use the
setting.
Move back from the subject or set the
flash to FLASH OFF
picture again.
Turn the camera on.
Make sure that the USB cable is firmly
connected at both ends.
Connect the camera directly to a USB
port on the computer.
